Shocked by the endearment, Alice snapped her head towards the gardener. Her eyes fluttered as their eyes met and for a moment her heart skipped a beat.
She felt a sense of familiarity with the person standing in front of her. Beads of sweat broke on her forehead while her lips trembled to speak.
"W-what did you call me?" she asked stuttering over the voice she heard before.
Dylan mentally smirked watching the dread taking over her face. He felt immense satisfaction with her reaction but knowing the severity of the situation he quickly changed his disguise and let go of her hand.
"Sorry Madame. I just wanted to stop you from stepping into that small pit" he said changing his tone and pointed at the hole.
It took a moment for Alice to recover from her distraught state. She cluelessly turned her head and followed the sight of his hand pointing at the hole she was about to step into.
